So you will stumble during the day,
    the prophet also will stumble with you at night,
        and I will destroy your mother.[a]
My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge of me.[b]
    Because you rejected that knowledge,
        I will reject you as a priest for me.

“The more they increased in number,[c]
    the more they sinned against me,
        so I will change their glory into shame.
